May 24, 2023 I wouldn't go as far as to say that he's uninspired as an artist. Revival, barring the execution, had a lot of material that was well thought of. His writing on Kamikaze and Side A (for the most part) was also innovative. It is his persistence to please everyone, running what he has done well in the past to the ground, obsessing over lyrical-miracle rap, and his general lack of awareness of what sounds good that dents the overall reception of his albums. Couldn't agree more that he needs to work with more people, especially producers, in person, to steer his album in a more profound and an original direction (instead of a template). But given how he's more interested in being the best rapper but not putting out the best albums (whatever that means), I don't anticipate any step in the right direction.
May 24, 2023 Yeah I agree that there’s ideas there but he lacks either the vision or the balls to follow through & stick to an idea, it ends up being just collections of different ideas put together — even the freshest ideas become plagued with the issue of the day, right now it appears to be triple time & dad jokes/similes. The issue with how he sounds too, it’s improved, for the most part, to arguably the highest point since Relapse with MTBMB — but the lack of cohesion & interesting pieces of music with Luis Resto at the driving seat is an obvious problem too. He really needs to expand his horizon, that doesn’t mean hopping on trends like he’s been doing. It means working with different real musicians who can work together to produce a record, like he did when he made his best work as it’s obvious this has been the missing piece to the puzzle for over a decade now. If this doesn’t happen, then we’re probably going to get MTBMB level projects ‘till he retires.
May 24, 2023 People and fans can see the problem but, can Em? or will he blame it on the haters and fans like last time?
May 24, 2023 Lil wayne never sticks to an idea but gets praised like crazy I dont disagree but its a double standard
May 24, 2023 When you think about it it’s actually amazing that a song like Rap God even became a hit lol
May 24, 2023 Sometimes I feel like the only American that isn’t crazy over bacon. I like bacon just fine, but man some people are obsessed with it.
May 24, 2023 Different artists are judged differently. People don’t go to Lil Wayne for the same thing they go to Eminem for
May 24, 2023 I love Eminem’s music. Cutting me off from being able to listen to his music would be like cutting me off from life support.
